| Abstract | ||
| Wadi Lihyan is located in southern Sinai, about 35 km from Serabit el-Khadim. It is accessed through Wadi al-Nasb through a winding and spiral road that passes through the areas of quarries and mines of the Manganese Company. Wadi Lihyan is a wide and spacious valley characterized by a large number of Nabataean inscriptions, in addition to a lot of Rock arts. In November 2016, I was invited to participate in the training course “Archaeological Survey and Desert Survival Skills” at Sarabit El-Khadem Training Center, under supervision Mr. Mustafa Nour El-Din, who told me that there is a rock with Nabataean inscriptions in Wadi Lihyan. On examination, it was found that is a small fallen rock contains two Nabataean memorial inscriptions.
